Abstract | [Pascale Girardin] doesn't favour any particular shapes or forms, choosing organic over geometric, for example; instead her signature is found in the edges. "The edge is always defined, but soft, not like a hard edge, but like the nice tension in a curve," she explains. Rough edges and hard angles don't fit with the restful feeling Girardin wants her art to encourage. "I don't like hard angles, I like things to be appealing and I like them to be appeasing." She defines her style as "not really about trends," and eschews design for design's sake, looking instead for permanence. "We have a joke in the studio: I'll do it in my free time,'" she says. Girardin is currently working on a new dishware collection. "I really like it, it's in blue and white." The line will be limited, which, she acknowledges will "make it a bit expensive, almost a one-off, but it will still have a particular clientele." In spite of everything, Girardin is taking a contemplative approach to her career. "At my age, I'm 43, I'm beginning to think more philosophically," she muses. "I ask myself: 'am I creating something exciting? Does it bring anything to other people?'" |
